Saved has separate tabs. Look for a note under Notes and a coloured verse under Highlights. An empty Bookmarks tab does not mean your other saved entries have disappeared.

Reading tools

Open Bible. The chapter heading opens the passage selector. The underlined A opens reading settings; the magnifying glass opens search. The translation abbreviation at the top right lets you choose another text.

To open the library, tap that abbreviation, then Other translations. Tapping the abbreviation alone does not download a new Bible.

The top toolbar opens settings, search and translations. The bottom toolbar controls speech and chapter navigation.

On a tablet

On wider screens, the main sections may appear on the left, with a list and its selected item side by side. Look for the same section names; the path to a feature remains the same even when a button moves.

Wide-screen example: main sections on the left and reading tools above the text.
